Rusalka – A Paper Theatre by María Gordon

A Romeo and Juliet tale between the sea and the earth. Should a Water Nymph fall in love with a human?  A melancholic love story inspired by the water sprites of Slavic mythology andbest known as the opera by Dvořák.

María Gordon has created this highly decorative paper theatre to cut out and make for Benjamin Pollock’s Toyshop cleverly telling the story in two reversible scenes with Rusalka as a paper doll with a folk dress to transform into a human when on land.

Printed on off-set litho in London, this newly commissioned work comes in a branded decorative folder. 7 prints to construct the theatre come with an illustrated booklet containing the synopsis and full instructions.
